Mr David Hobart B Ec (UQ), B Bus (Banking and Finance - QUT), DFS(FP)

Director, Apeiron Global Macro Fund Pty Ltd

David has had considerable experience in trading and investment markets. Over the last 12 years, David has been the Manager of Proprietary Trading for BT Foreign Exchange in Sydney and has been a Senior Proprietary Trader with Macquarie Bank and ABN Amro. This involved active trading in foreign exchange, commodities, interest rate and equities markets, and managing a diverse team of traders using a variety of systems and trading strategies.

Starting his work with BT trading foreign exchange (FX) in 1994, David continued developing his passion for understanding how macroeconomic developments impact on markets. The FX markets are influenced by the flow of funds into and out of a country's bond, stock and property markets, as well as trade and speculative flows. Understanding how one economic indicator influenced a variety of markets was critical to his success as an FX trader. This logically led to his move into trading the fixed income, commodities and equities markets while managing the FX Proprietary Trading Desk for BT. David was highly successful at BT and became the most profitable trader in BT's Australian FX department. David then moved to work with both Macquarie Bank and ABN Amro in similar roles before trading his own capital.
